ECO 4332 Comparative Economic Systems

The study of comparative economic systems involves the study of the diversity of  approaches governments have taken to solving economic questions throughout time and different forms of economic organization. This class will explore the different forms of  economic organization and the differences between and among modern nations’ systems  of economic organization. Using theoretical models, real world data, and case studies the  course will show the similarities and differences between developed and developing  countries using different systems today, as well as countries which remain in a state of  transition. Particular attention will be focused throughout the semester on how different  modern systems result in policy differences and outcomes when governments engage  with issues such as healthcare, immigration, education, banking and financial markets,  economic development, economic crisis, and the environment.
